“…Há outro artigo com uma coautora brasileira (LONGHURST et al, 2016), em que são apresentadas diferentes alternativas econômicas no contexto urbano. Por fim, mais um país presente na revisão é a Colômbia (CHAVES et al, 2018), representada em um estudo sobre a vivência do conceito de Bem Viver a por pessoas e comunidades membros da rede Consejo de Asentamientos Sustentables de las Américas (CASA).…”

“…Cabem alguns destaques para ilustrar a relação de interdependência entre inovação social e decrescimento. Primeiramente, ressalta-se que a prática de inovação social está muito presente em comunidades que buscam novos estilos de vida conectados às propostas do decrescimento (e.g., BOTTA, 2016;CHAVES et al, 2018). Mas a inovação social, além de promover mudança de estilos de vida, também fomenta o consumo sustentável (e.g., LOREK; FUCHS, 2013) e o desenvolvimento e propagação de modelos econômicos alternativos (e.g., DASH, 2016; PESCH, 2018), os quais serão discutidos na próxima seção.…”

“…Whenever policies and development programs do not contemplate the needs or desires that are rooted in rural peoples' symbolic and material realities, collective identities linked to rurality can also help challenge rural peoples' marginalization in (inter)national political-economies (Chambers 1983;Ching and Creed 1997). Rural agriculturalists across the globe, for example, have regularly effected political change by drawing on collective identities that draw attention to the respectability of rural people and/or how rural communities are being exploited by urban actors (e.g., Bauer 1992;Creed 1995;Lapegna 2016;Chaves et al 2018).…”

Worldwide, communities face disruptions driven by phenomena such as climate change and globalization. Socio-ecological resilience theorists have called for greater attention to the social dynamics that inform whether and how communities are reorganized and sustained in response to such challenges. Scholars increasingly stress that social heterogeneities provide resources that communities can mobilize to adapt and sustain themselves in response to disruptions. Utilizing the sociological literature that emphasizes that social solidarities and collective identities are centrally important to community responses to socio-ecological disruptions, we argue that solidarities grounded in collective identities can act as important mediators between social heterogeneity and resilience. Drawing on qualitative data from rural communities in the central United States and southwestern Uruguay, we explore how group solidarity enabled individuals to more effectively draw on their diverse knowledges, skills, and resources to sustain their communities. Linked by a collective identity grounded in rurality, in each setting, individuals effectively worked together to adapt to emerging socio-ecological disruptions. These results suggest that we can better understand how social heterogeneities inform resilience by considering how solidarities grounded in collective identities influence whether and how individuals can successfully cooperate to rearrange and sustain their communities. When working with rural communities, specifically, it will be especially important to account for solidarities and collective identities tied to rurality.

“…The Buen Vivir movement in Colombia is just one such example: people coming together to pursue sustainable livelihoods. Research I've seen on Buen Vivir suggests that it is being engaged in by and for those who are well off and can afford to do so, that is, the privileged classes (Chaves et al ).…”
